Manchester City will have pay a nine-figure fee to sign out-of-favour Real Madrid star Isco, according to reports.
Isco has played an increasingly peripheral role at the Bernabeu since Santiago Solari took charge. He hasn't started any of Real's last six La Liga matches and didn't even make it off the bench in their narrow win over Rayo Vallecano last weekend.
AS claims that Isco could be offered an escape from his current situation by Manchester City, who have reportedly sounded the player out via an intermediary.
Isco is under contract until 2022 and has a release clause of €700m, but City are hopeful that the Spaniard's discontent may persuade Real to part with him for a much smaller fee.
